How about...

How about instead of making me pay for something I don't need and won't use (namely the Digital Cable) you either: a) Not make it mandatory or b) (preferred) pay for it for me.

I didn't want the stupid digital transition - but I have to pay for it to watch the two shows I watch any given day? wth. I just hope my old ATI TV tuner will still manage to get the thing right.

The cable companies can switch to digital-only any time they want. Some already are.

Wasn't this originally scheduled to happen in 1999?
everytime the date got within a year, the date got pushed back. i look for this to happen sometime in 2008

Not this time. Most stations (namely the main stations such as NBC, FOX, PBS, CBS, and ABC) are transmitting both digital and analog, not to mention that every TV sold now has to have an ATSC tuner in it. I really think that they're serious this time.
